CSR: Environmental Dimension Inditex’s Environmental Policy

We believe that in the course of doing business, Inditex must implement sustainable development standards that promote environmental protection, ensure that resources are properly managed and meet society's needs.

To put these goals into practice, we are committed to complying with and enforcing compliance with the following principles, which define our environmental policy:

  • 1- We are committed to taking environmental issues into account when planning and carrying out our activities and those of our business partners, and encouraging environmental awareness among employees, suppliers and the public.
  • 2- We are committed to compliance with the environmental laws that govern our activities, along with any obligations which may be implemented in the future. We will work hard to prevent pollution and reduce, insofar as possible, the environmental impact of our business.
  • 3- Other efforts are geared towards achieving constant improvements to our Management System, to enhance its usefulness and improve on our efficient use of resources.
  • 4- We make sure that all of our employees and the public are notified of this policy, establishing open lines of communication with government authorities, local communities and other stakeholders.
